Ice Hockey World Cup, Group A, Matchday 7 on Monday, 25/05/2026, 20:20
The good news for my Germany Great Britain tip, which provides for the success of the bet to win GER with HC -3 at odds of 2.05, is provided by the tournament schedule.
Because only the following day can Latvia (or Austria) claim the quarter-final ticket by winning on the last group matchday.
But until then, there is still hope for 4th place – and as we all know, it dies last! Consequently, the DEB selection should easily prevail against the British’s roster, which has so far been hopelessly overwhelmed.
Since every team in Group A “Team UK” has scored a good handful of goals so far, Germany should be no exception. Especially since Harold Kreis’s troops have visibly caught themselves after the debacle against the Swiss and are now playing much better!
Latvia showed the way on Sunday and so the Germans should also overrun the British early on in the hunt for the important three points, which would provisionally secure the quarter-final place.
1st period: Germany 2+ goals is therefore a very reasonable option for customers of a good sports betting provider at values of 1.80.
Because just as the Latvians had already given Team UK three goals in the first 20 minutes yesterday, I simply cannot imagine a long and bitter resistance from the designated relegated team.
Because although the relegation of the British is now unavoidable, I trust them to at least score the honorary goal. A good reason for this betting maneuver is that the DEB selection likes to shift down a gear when they are clearly in the lead and act defensively unfocused.
In addition, Germany has not yet kept a single clean sheet at this A World Cup – and don’t forget: Liam Kirk is the best DEL scorer of the past season in the British squad (32 goals).
Meanwhile, Germany over 4.5 goals promises 1.78 times the stake and should also leave a few happy faces in the betting shop.
Harold Kreis’s boys have visibly improved in the last few days and especially the front row with Tiffels, Samanski and Reichel is getting better and better together the longer they are on the ice together.
And since the British have already been relegated anyway and are far too thin in terms of quality in the back rows, the DEB selection should not miss the opportunity to beat the opponent with a higher result than Austria (6:2).
The direct comparison is only a statistical side note at this point, which I ignore for the most part, as it would not really help me to make a good Germany UK forecast.
Because a duel from 2019 “only” went 3-1 to the Germans, which could wrongly give the impression of a close pairing.
But currently there is much more separating the two teams than there was back then – especially since German ice hockey has developed enormously during this period and now has half a dozen NHL professionals.
Conclusion: It probably won’t be enough for the quarter-finals, because I just don’t see the Latvians losing to Hungary on Tuesday afternoon. Nevertheless, Germany should once again show everyone what they are made of.
Harold Kreis’s team lost Fischbuch in the course of the tournament and possibly also Kahun after the Austria game due to injuries, but the quality is still sufficient to not give the British the slightest chance.
